Until the Hootch Decree in 1976, adolescents left villages during their teenage years to attend boarding schools either in Alaska or in the lower 48. With the creation of village high schools, communities had to understand …

The Physiological And Physical Effects Of A Seven Week Summer Wrestling Camp On Experienced Prepubescent Wrestlers, Wade Hoyt Thomson May 1982

The Physiological And Physical Effects Of A Seven Week Summer Wrestling Camp On Experienced Prepubescent Wrestlers, Wade Hoyt Thomson

Student Work

Participation by children in competitive sports programs has increased considerably within the past 20 years, in part because of the increased number of competitive sports programs available for children. Furthermore, children are becoming increasingly involved at younger ages. Freqently, these programs are very physical, and actively competitive with little consideration given to how the children may respond or adapt to the strenuous exercise. It is tacitly assumed that children sports participants will experience the same physiological and physical benefits as would adult participants.

The Congruence Of A Principal's First Year Experience With A Developmental Leadership Model, Vicki Mazzotta

Student Work

There is little written about the initial year in the position. The most comprehensive description of the principal is they study "The Man in the Principal's Office" by Harry Wolcott.

Assessing The Impact Of A Field Trip Training Package Using Creative Talents In Planning And Executing A Field Trip, Susan E. Spangler

Student Work

For those teachers who wish to take advantage of the field trip, there is not much help available. Jack Mason, in an annotated bibliography of field trip research, wrote that writers often notice a lack of reports about field trips when …
